Football management just boggles my mind sometimes. You get sacked for being absolutely crap and 5 mins later another club offers you millions to be their manager.

Nowhere else can I think of such things happen

I expect it depends on whereabouts they are on the crapometer, obviously Leeds think either of them are a better option than Ted. Fans must be devastated 😢.

Your general point stands (and I agree with it 100%), but that article is just a lazy 'journo' fishing for clicks, rather than there being any particular chance of either Lampard or Gerrard taking over at Leeds.

The crux of their piece:

"Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard and former Everton manager Frank Lampard are among the names linked with succeeding Jesse Marsch at Leeds United"

Then in the same article:

Next Leeds manager odds

*Odds via Sky Bet.
  • Carlos Corberan - 6/4
  • Mauricio Pochettino - 13/2
  • Marcelo Bielsa - 9/1
  • Ralph Hasenhuttl - 9/1
  • Ange Postecoglou - 10/1
  • Kjetil Knutsen - 10/1
  • Marcello Gallardo - 12/1
  • Nuno Espirito Santo - 16/1
  • Ruben Amorim - 16/1
  • Bo Svensson - 20/1
  • Matthias Jaissle - 20/1
  • Peter Bosz - 20/1
  • Steven Gerrard - 20/1
  • William Still - 20/1
  • Andrea Pirlo - 25/1
  • Domenico Tedesco - 25/1
  • Ernesto Valverde - 25/1
  • Michael Carrick - 25/1
  • Rafa Benitez - 25/1
  • Vincent Kompany - 25/1
  • Brendan Rodgers - 40/1
  • Frank Lampard - 50/1
So Lampard's not even in the top 20 'candidates' for the job and Gerrard's not in the top 10.

It's the epitome of a non-story.

Arne Slot ( a machine of a manager) the odds on favourite now to be the new Leeds boss...

Annoyingly, he'd be a great appointment as he's done really well at Feyenoord since taking over from Dick Snowball

Not a chance they're getting Pochettino. Lots of absolutely deluded Leeds fans out there, but we knew that. & if Postecoglou was going to leave Celtic i'd think he wouldnt go for a relegation scrap in exchange for winning trophies in Scotland.

Winning trophies in Scotland is not such a big deal these days - Celtic....and Rangers too - are both big clubs, but in a league a long way below the PL; the money up there (even for the old firm) is minimal compared to the PL, so you can bet your boots that Postecoglou will look for a move up to the PL (or Europe).
Maybe not Leeds, and maybe not now, but one day ................................

Oh yeah for sure Scottish Prem to English Prem is a massive step up. An enormous step up. Im just saying similar to you in that switching now for the Leeds job in a relegation battle might not be the specific move that tempts him.

Tuchel would suit Leeds and be entertaining as well. He's got an over-inflated opinion of himself, and is more than a bit unhinged.

The way he squeezed Conte's hand after their match was special.

Worked out well for Stevie G... :eek:

I can still remember all the talk being that he was going to he'd be mad to leave Rangers for Aston Villa because he was onto a good thing. A lot of people were saying he should wait for the Liverpool job. Although, quite frankly, he might get a better tune out of that mob at the moment than Kloppo!
